Medical admissions unit

/in /by

TOPIC: You are working on a small medical admissions unit and have asked a nursing assistant to perform vital signs and do the observations. She takes the temperature, pulse, saturation, pain level and blood pressure of every patient on the unit, as asked. Approximately one hour later you ask if all the observations were OK.

The nursing assistant replies that the patient in Room 9-A+ had a temperature of 39* Celsius. You ask why she had not informed you of this immediately. She replies that it was her job to do all the observations as you asked, and that is what she has done.

After reading the scenario, take some time to reflect on delegation, then answer substantively to the following questions.

  1. What are the principles that guide delegation to any coworker?
  2. What does this scenario tell you about managing/leading people in the clinical setting?
  3. What does this tell you about the need to understand what we do and why?
  4. Is there a place for understanding the values of care in this scenario?

National nursing associations

/in /by

Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.

Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing.

To Prepare:

· Assume that you are leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare organization or agency.

· Review the NCSBN and ANA websites to prepare for your presentation.

The Assignment: (8- to 9-slide PowerPoint presentation)

Develop a 8- to 9-slide PowerPoint Presentation that addresses the following:

· Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.

· Describe the board for your specific region/area.

· Who is on the board?

· How does one become a member of the board?

· Describe at least one state regulation related to general nurse scope of practice.

· How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?

· How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?

· Describe at least one state regulation related to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs).

Measurement phase in quality management

/in /by

Measurement is the start of all quality management initiatives. Measurement answers the question, “How are we doing?” The next step in the cycle is assessment, which asks, “Are we meeting expectations?” If you are not meeting the desired outcomes, this is the initiation of improving performance. To ensure identification of the correct improvement efforts, the quality management team must have the knowledge of analyzing data to “tell the story” related to the current state. The measurement phase in quality management is not only used at the beginning of quality management but also is used throughout to evaluate success or failures.

Question:

How do you Provide an overview of the Redwood Health Center case study and outline the importance of each measurement category (structure, process, and outcome measures)?
